Stephen Finucane e11efd8d76 doc: Create directory structure for docs migration 
The spec [1] recommends the following sections:

- install
- contributor
- configuration
- cli
- admin
- user
- reference

Only a few of these are useful here:

- contributor
- cli
- user
- reference

Add these and populate them.

Python bindings to the OpenStack Nova API

This is a client for OpenStack Nova API. There's a Python API <reference/api/index> (the novaclient module), and a command-line script </user/shell> (installed as nova). Each implements the entire OpenStack Nova API.

You'll need credentials for an OpenStack cloud that implements the Compute API, such as TryStack, HP, or Rackspace, in order to use the nova client.

You may want to read the OpenStack Compute API Guide__ to get an idea of the concepts. By understanding the concepts this library should make more sense.
